Gearbox or Parts for Volumex Car

Hmm....no luck with the Monte hospital unfrotunately.........they say the boxes are completely different and they can't supply anything I might need. They suggested Beta boyz which I have emailed anyway.

David - is there a chance you know the reg no of your donor? It might help a local guy I have asked.

That’s a b****r !!!. I have had a look on google images for Lancia Beta Coupe Volumex I have come up with some reg numbers for you, all are red cars. B648 YHM, B922 PHO, B150 JPC I am making the assumption that they are all genuine.

I bought my gearbox from Ebay several years ago for £10, those days are long gone!!

I hope the above reg numbers will help your local guy.

Thanks David, I know...it's a real shame how time has moved on and so many of these things have been lost!

Not having much luck really.....thanks for the numbers. I passed them on and gearbox man has just called and says he is getting nowhere - apparently I need to find a Lancia dealer in Italy as there are none in the UK. That means I will be needing a chassis number as a UK reg will be meaning less to them (that is if I can find a dealer!)

Ah.....the joys of kit cars.

You should find the attached Guy Croft link an interesting read as it covers the differences between the Montecarlo and Volumex gearboxes

Hi Mark, hope this helps - I had an HPE VX registration A888EAU with chassis number 828BF7 00943314 and engine number 00448319

Hope that helps?

There is an MG preparation company who buy up Volumex cars and engine/boxes simply to use the supercharger on MG engines. The unfortunate thing is I can't remember the name of the Company!
But, I'm thinking they don't use either the engine or gearbox in their projects. They must do something with them. Maybe they have some hanging around?
